I got the ASUS P6X58D and so far the board has been great, rock solid.

Also besides going to newegg, go to tiger direct and enter the exact same components once you decide and see which one is cheaper. Tiger saved me about $200 on the CPU/memory and SSD over newegg. They also show if it will ship next day or not and they got it to me next day. (overnight shipping was even cheaper than newegg).

Also I took a chance on the Corsair H50 seaqled liquid CPU cooler after favorable reviews and except for some lame install instructions, so far the cooler is great. Minimal, effective, quiet and clean looking.
